The Nazis were “searching, looking for Jews” | Ella Blumenthal | USC Shoah Foundation #shorts

Ella (Hela) Blumenthal was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1921. During World War II, Ella survived the Warsaw Ghetto, Auschwitz II-Birkenau death camp, Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, and Majdanek concentration camp. In this clip, Ella recalls hiding from the Nazis, who were “searching, looking for Jews.”

Ella was 74 years old when she recorded her testimony in 1996. She is currently (as of this video’s upload date) 101 years old.

Ella lived to a ripe old age of 100 years old . She endure many close calls during the war and was lucky that circumstances changed before her turn for the das ovens etc . She lost her family, with an a exception of her niece, which was close to, Ella's age . They found one another after the war . Ella was a very independent young woman and she was well liked . She got married after the war and had a lovely family and grand childre. Her story is an inspiration to people . Her interview was 2 1/2 hours long , and I enjoyed every minute. 👍🏻💋❤🙏
